About
Robbie joined Campden BRI in 2018 after obtaining his master’s degree in advanced chemical and process engineering from the University of Strathclyde. Robbie now works as a non-thermal specialist in the Process Innovation team within the consulting technology department, providing feasibility testing, validation, and training in many novel processes. Robbie has also undertaken many research projects and has published multiple New Technologies bulletins.
Areas of interest
Robbie’s interests are lie in new technologies, in particular high pressure processing (HPP), ultraviolet and pulsed light, high power ultrasound, cold plasma and pulsed electric field (PEF). He is also constantly looking for new technologies to bring to realisation within the food and beverage industry.
